‘Synstealer 5th Generation’ Recruitment Promotional Poster.

Sinstealer (信Steeler) refers to a 'reliable' cultural and artistic professional who, like a scene-stealer who stands out as much as the lead actor in a play, identifies local issues at the Culture City Pohang creation site and executes projects in response.

In particular, the focus is on discovering and nurturing young cultural planners who connect local resources with culture.

This year, about 10 people will be selected, and anyone aged 19 to 39 with fresh cultural and artistic planning ideas who can continuously work in the region can apply.

The training is scheduled to take place from July to November and consists of basic and advanced education such as general introduction related to the Culture City creation project, regional studies lectures, and field explorations, as well as domestic advanced site training and individual project execution.

Additionally, top-level cultural planning experts in Korea will be invited as mentors to provide individual consulting, and even after completing the course, support will be provided to continue cultural startups and independent planning activities in the region through opportunities to participate in the Culture City creation project.

Sinstealer is one of the collaborative working groups of Culture City Pohang and is a project promoted since the preliminary project in 2019 to cultivate more practical and professional cultural personnel on site in addition to the existing training courses.

Currently, 8 members of Sinstealer 1st generation (新Steeler), 12 members of 2nd generation (伸Steeler), 6 members of 3rd generation (迅Steeler), and 7 members of 4th generation (晨Steeler) have completed the course. Through this, 33 cultural planners have been produced who are active in various fields such as design, space, cultural arts content, and exhibitions, not only in Pohang but also nationwide cultural scenes.

Applications for Sinstealer 5th generation are open until 6 p.m. on July 4th. Detailed information can be found in the announcements on the Pohang Cultural Foundation website. Inquiries can be made to the Pohang Cultural Foundation Culture City Center.
